    摘要: A bundler, un-bundler and sequencer for use in controlling and driving opposing sets of logical or physical modems to drive multiple-subscriber lines with multiple communication channels. The sequencer determines subscriber requirements such as maximum and minimum bandwidth and quality of service. The sequencer also determines bandwidth availability and status of multiple subscriber lines from which a bundle may be formed. The bundler couple to the sequencer and implement header or headerless insertion of multiple channels in round robin sequence into the X-DSL frames at data rates which correspond with subscriber requirements. The un-bundler reverses the process of the bundler and passes the appropriate packet data onto the corresponding network.

    摘要: The current invention provides a digital signal processor which supports multiple X-DSL protocols and a multiplicity of channels on a single chip. Each channel is packetized and each packet includes control information for controlling the performance of the components/modules on the transmit and receive path. Further flexibility is derived from an architecture which incorporates discrete and shared modules on the transmit path and the receive path. The transmit path and receive path modules are collectively controlled by control information in selected ones of the packets and operate on each channel's packets at an appropriate rate, and protocol for the channel. A digital signal processor (DSP) is disclosed which incorporates these features. The DSP exhibits a favorable form factor, and flexibility as to protocols and line codes, and numbers of channels supported.

    摘要: The current invention provides a DSP which accommodates multiple current X-DSL protocols and is further configurable to support future protocols. The DSP is implemented with shared and dedicated hardware components on both the transmit and receive paths. The DSP implements both the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) portions across a wide range of sample sizes and X-DSL protocols. Multiple channels, each with varying ones of the X-DSL protocols can be handled in the same session. The DSP offers the speed associated with hardware implementation of the transforms and the flexibility of a software only implementation. Traffic flow is regulated in the chip using a packet based schema in which each packet is associated with a specific channel of upstream and downstream data. Header and control information in each packet is used to govern the processing of each packet as it moves along either the transmit path or receive path. The DSP of the current invention may advantageously be utilized in fields other than communications, such as: medical and other imaging, seismic analysis, radar and other military applications, pattern recognition, signal processing etc. The present invention provides a signal processing architecture that supports scalability of CO/DLC/ONU resources, and allows a significantly more flexible hardware response to the evolving X-DSL standards without over committing of hardware resources. As standards evolve hardware may be reconfigured to support the new standards.

    摘要: A transceiver for communicating a multi-tone modulated communication channel on a subscriber line. The transceiver includes: a digital signal processor (DSP) with a Fourier transform module and an analog front end (AFE). The DSP determines an available range of frequencies on the subscriber line and expands or contracts the tone spacing of each of a fixed number “N” of tones accordingly by decreasing or increasing the processing interval associated with the Fourier transform of each tone set. The AFE performs digital-to-analog conversion of the multi-tone modulated communication channel at rates compatible with the processing interval of the Fourier transform module; whereby the range of frequencies spanned by the modulated tones on the subscriber line conforms to the available of frequencies on the subscriber line.

    摘要: An antenna system comprises an antenna module, a controller, and a processor. The antenna module is capable of adopting, at any time, any one of a plurality of polarities. The controller is capable of providing a time-varying control signal to the antenna module. At a specified time, the time-varying control signal directs the antenna module to adopt a specified polarity. The processor obtains, from the antenna module, at least one digital stream in response to an incident radio-frequency (RF) signal impinging on the antenna module. At the specified time, the at least one digital stream corresponds to the antenna module having adopted the specified polarity. The processor analyzes the at least one digital stream from the antenna module, and generates an output signal corresponding to the incident RF signal.

    摘要: A technique weights noise power used in a demodulation/demapping process using on an estimate of interference and its associated power. Using this technique the effect of partial interference can be ameliorated. For example, a value, σ2, can be used to represent the estimated noise and interference power, and σ2 can be used to modify a received signal to ameliorate the effects of noise and interference. σ2 can be adjusted in response to partial interference, and can be represented by the formula: σ2=σN2+q σI2, where σN2 is “noise power,” σI2 is “interference power,” and q is an interference correction factor.

    摘要: The present invention advantageously provides a method and apparatus for optimization of channel capacity in multi-line multi-tone communications such as X-DSL among subscriber lines which are bundled with one another. In an embodiment of the invention an apparatus for optimizing channel capacity of multi-tone communications effected by opposing sets of modems coupled to one another by a plurality of subscriber lines is disclosed. The apparatus includes a spectrum manager coupled to at least one of the opposing sets of modems. The spectrum manager includes: a profiler, a demand module and an optimizer. The profiler obtains from the at least one of the opposing sets of modems the spectral characteristics of each of the plurality of subscriber lines. The demand module determines for each of the plurality of subscriber lines the subscriber demand profile. The optimizer defines target parameters for at least one of bit loading, and power spectral density (PSD) for selected tones of the multi-tone communications based on the spectral characteristics from the profile module and the demand profiles from the demand module and downloads the target parameters to the at least one of the opposing sets of modems.
